Administration

Hello! My name is Trinity, I am the Administration Leader here at Camp Merkley. I am married to my college sweetheart, Justin. I've been blessed with two beautiful baby boys and a playful puppy. I graduated from Southeast Missouri State in 2016 with a Bachelors degree in education. From a young age I always I loved going to the dentist and have been lucky enough to work in the dental field since 2018. When I am not working I love spending time with my family and adventuring outside.

Hello! My name is Sydney. I started working at Camp Merkley in 2023 and have loved everyday! I enjoy helping our community. I have a little girl, Alaina and two spoiled pups at home. When I'm not at the office I enjoy spending time with my family and being outside.

Hello!! My name is Baley, I am one of the Scheduling Coordinators here at Camp Merkley. I have an amazing 20 year old daughter named Sammi who I am beyond proud of and she will be graduating college in May. We have three fur babies that keep us very busy and are a big part of our life! I love working at Camp Merkley and seeing all the amazing kiddos every day and enjoy getting to be a part of a great team that strives to keep your kiddo happy and smiling throughout their whole experience with us. Outside of Camp you can find me spending time with friends and family. I am a warm weather kind of person and look forward to the pretty days and being outside riding SxS, going to ball games, and anything to do with water and swimming. I look forward to meeting you and your camper soon!!

To all of you campers out there I would like to introduce myself. I’m Mike, I am the Camp Operations Leader.  I may never meet you because I am a guy behind the scenes. Here at Camp, I help out with all the things needed to keep our Camp compliant with all rules and regulations. A couple of things about me, I married my high school sweetheart about a year before man first set foot on the moon. I have two grown, beautiful daughters, Laura and Patty. As it turns out my youngest, Patty goes by “Dr. Patty” here at Camp! ;) I also have four energetic grandchildren, whom I adore, Cambreigh, Haley, Connor, and Chloe. But enough about me, let’s hear all about you! I look forward to assisting the staff of counselors and of course, our leader, the “Camp Director”, in making your camping experience as best we can!

​Hey everyone! My name is Amber. I am the Surgical Coordinator here at Camp Merkley. I have 2 boys and 2 grand babies. I became a part of the Camp Merkley team over a year ago and I am so happy that my path in life brought me here. You can find me in the office preparing the kiddos for their surgeries.

Hello! My name is Zana, I grew up in Jackson and graduated from Jackson Senior High, I have a French Bulldog named Bubba that I love to spoil. Outside of work I enjoy being outside and soaking up the sun. You can usually catch me laying at the river or on a hiking trail, but of course only when it’s warm. I love spending time with my family, boyfriend, and friends. If i’m not outside I am probably catching up on my new favorite Netflix show or trying out a new recipe. If someone were to ask me my favorite thing about working at Camp Merkley, I would have to say it would be getting to work with such amazing, caring, and strong staff and of course getting to meet new faces every day!

Hi! My name is Sloan. I love meeting all the sweet families. You can find me relaxing behind the desk or in the back office when I'm not helping our campers.
